我国都市农业有着多功能化、城镇化、产业化、非农化的背景。从社会经济基础演变的角度而言,改革开放以来非农性功能发展是对都市农业广义现代化的补充与发展,同时又是对狭义现代化的抑制、延缓与破坏。并由此而引起的、且在空间上与狭义农业现代化相"逆向"的变化形成了都市农业空间格局上的"逆现代化"。当下都市农业是一个现代化-"逆现代化"的耦合过程。我国都市农业目前的整体空间状态是多种农业形式交错分布的"逆现代化",有其存在的合理性。
China's urban agriculture has the background of multi-functionalization, urbanization,industrialization and non-agriculturization. From the perspective of the evolution of the social and economic foundation, the development of non-agricultural functions since the reform and open policy is the supplement?and contribution to the general modernization of urban agriculture, while at the same time it inhibits, delays and destructs the narrow-sense agricultural modernization. The changes that are caused by it and moving reversely to the narrow-sense agricultural modernization in the space have formed the "counter-modernization" in the spatial framework of urban agriculture. The present urban agriculture is a coupling process of modernization and "counter-modernization". The present overall spatial state of China's urban agriculture is the type of "counter-modernization" with various cross distributed agricultural forms, its existence has certain rationality.
